Re: WoW Flight Paths

I've read that they do this like theme parks. Theme parks space out major attractions so you have to walk far to get to one another. This makes you tired and also prompts you to buy stuff between attractions. You've bought some crap, gotten tired faster and now leave because all your time was ate up walking.

They have your money at this point, they want you out of the park as soon as possible to quit using resources.

The same is probably true of online rps. The sooner you log off, the sooner you free up more resources.

Re: WoW Flight Paths

I highly doubt they're trying to get you to stop using their resources. With the addition of the achievements system and the long grinds for reputation, I think they're just trying to take as much of your time to do everything so you don't "beat" the game so fast and leave. Anything to get you to pay another $15 next month.
